A case of antibiotics-associated pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) due to a toxin produced by <I>clostridium difficile</I> was reported.<BR>A 78-year-old woman had received intravenous injection of cefazolin 4 g/day for 16 days, cefoperazone 3 g/day for 3 days, and ticarcillin 10 g/day for 12 days because of pneumonia with heart failure. Fourteen days after the cessation of antibiotics therapy, bloody stools with mucus developed. The colonoscopy revealed an edematous mucosa with numerous small yellowish-white plaques indicating PMC. C. difficile of over 10<SUP>3</SUP>/g and its toxin with high titer were detected in the stool. Administration of vancomycin 1.5 g/day for 8 days led to rapid recovery.<BR>As far as we know, this case is the first case of PMC possibly associated with ticarcillin. Clinicians should be alerted to the possibility of the occurrence of such a complication in patients being treated with ticarcillin.
